Day 3 of the World Poker Tour Legends of Poker was completed on Sunday and only 21 players. Jeff Vertes with the lead is a great, the 800,000-chip-plus lead. He graduated James Carroll's 2.712 million in chips to 1.9 million. David Daneshgar rounds out the top three with 1.85 million.
When Ken Aldridge began the day, led the way. Aldridge did quite well to continue to build his stack throughout the day 3. In fact, he collected enough chips, 1.541 million, find themselves by finishing sixth General move to day 4.
With 99 players come back and the money line set to 81 places, that meant an unfortunate 18 players would return empty handed. The Joe Ressler most unfortunate of all was that fell in the 82nd place and earned the highly undesirable title of "tournament bubble boy." According to WPT Live Update Team, it was 
Ressler all-in with to
Brent Hanks '. Hanks went on to make a flush and cripple Ressler before eliminating him on the very next hand.
Some of the other famous players to fall Tom Brabanderwere prior to the money, Jason DeWitt, Hafiz Khan Jon Friedberg, and Jeff Madsen. From there, there were plenty of eliminations on the way to the end of the day Greg Mueller including (78th-$ 7,000), Owen Crowe (77th-$ 7,000), Than O'Brien (69th-$ 7300), Jamie Gold (67th), Allen Cunningham -$ 7300 (54th-$ 8,480), Amnon Filippi (41st-$ 9,250), J.C. Tran (39th-$ 9,250), Dwyte Pilgrim (33rd-$ 10,280) and Allen Kessler (28th-$ 10,280).
Former WPT champion Pilgrim fell into the hands of Carroll. With the blinds of 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante, Carroll increased to 28,000 of central position and Pilgrim moved all-in for about 175,000. Action back to Carroll and 
company he made the call. Pilgrim 
was all- 
in and dominated with. The 
flop, turn and 
river ran out of 
and Carroll finished with a Broadway straight to win the hand.
Kessler's 28-place elimination Nguyen Tuancame at the hands of. From under the gun with the blinds 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante jammed Kessler all-in for 40,000. After Tyler Cornell called from middle position, Nguyen rereaised all-in for the cutoff seat of 157,000. That knocked everyone out of the way and isolated Kessler.
When the hands 
were 
, it was Kessler's against the Nguyen. 
The flop came hoping to give Kessler some as he the lead with a few , but the turn picked up the river and other things had in mind. Nguyen finished with a Broadway right and Kessler was left felting.
